Best Printers For Quiet Workplaces

quiet office printers

Last Updated on April 14, 2021 by Christian Ralph

Printers will always make noise. But if you work in a busy, customer-focused environment such as a call centre, doctor’s surgery or school, the less distracting noise your printer makes, the better. If you are a small-business owner operating out of a small office or home study where you value the peace and quiet, a quiet printer could also be a great choice.

In general, the faster the printer, the louder the sound. Similarly, a laser model is likely to be quieter than an inkjet as, in a laser printer, the fusing process heats the toner across the entire width of the paper as opposed to the printer arm moving constantly back and forth. Instead, the sound that a laser printer generates is usually from the paper being fed through into the printer.

With these points in mind, we’ve collated a list of some of the quietest printers, so you can finally rid your workplace of loud printer noise.
